      @bungee09 @yawns When i ran the “npm install” in the MM directory, i got this error:

      npm warn grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 requires a peer of grunt@~0.4.0 but none was installed

      I googled the error and it looks like it shouldnt be an issue, but when i tried doing an install in the PIR directory (it failed), so did the rebuild with the updated electron version number (mine was 1.5.6).

      I got the same error when trying to run the rebuild

      Failed at the epoll@0.1.20 install script ‘node-gyp rebuild’
      Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.

      Sorry for all the posts on here, but do you have any thoughts? I update node.js and npm to the most recent versions, so i dont think that what is broken for me :(

      When i try to run the mirror, here is the error i get before the white screen:

      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

        When i ran the “npm install” in the MM directory, i got this error:
        npm warn grunt-yamllint@0.2.0 requires a peer of grunt@~0.4.0 but none was installed

        Don’t worry about this one. The log file format is [process] [debug level] [error message]. In this case, “warn” is the level of severity of the message. If it said “err” then it would require your attention.

        I suspect your nodejs version is out of date. Try running this command: nodejs -v and then npm -v. It should spit out the version of node and NPM you’re using. Personally, I’m on v7.4.0 and v4.0.5 respectively. If you’re running a few versions behind, you may wish to run these commands from your home folder:

        curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g npm
sudo npm install -g npm

        And yes, you may have to run that last command twice. For some reason, NPM sometimes requires a double-tap to update itself. Thank you, StackExchange.

        Run nodejs -v again and verify that your node version is up to snuff.

          Hey there, thank you for the suggestion. updated both nodejs and npm to 7.4.0 and 4.0.5.

          I think removed the MMM-PIR-Sensor folder, grabbed it again from github, and then tried to run npm install on it, and the install failed again.

          An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild

          I tried running the rebuild with my electron version number (1.5.7) but still no luck. Any thoughts on what else I could try? I am drawing a blank here, unfortunately.

            @Them-Russians i also thought i have a higher electron-version. but i tried

            npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.4.3 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50

            and it worked for me.

              @Them-Russians I think you definitely need to rebuild electron. I can’t see what else is causing the issue. Try with different electron version numbers. Otherwise I’m all out of ideas. Sorry!

                @Them-Russians Try changing line 24 in package.json as shown here and reinstall with npm install in the module folder. Does that help?

                Also: Please continue discussion about install issues here. There is already info on how it can be solved. For other problems with the PIR-Sensor Module please open a new thread in the modeul troubleshooting section.

                  Thanx a Million, Bro’ !!

                  The step-by-step did it for me!

                  I couldn’t understand that everybody’s was working so cool and mine dis diddly-squat?!?

                  So removing the module and reinstalling was the answer. No idea what went wrong first time round; Just grateful it is now working as expected.

                  Thanx for your great post!!
